Rad-tacular news sports fans! The Porkers WILL be playing an all ages gig when they come down on the 29th. The gig will be at the Greenroom in Phillip in the afternoon, followed by an Over 18s later that night at the same venue. To all the under age rude boys and girls I implore you to see this show. The Porkers very rarely play all ages in Canberra and we had to work especially hard to convince them it'd be worth it. So come along and show your support for aussie ska, your country/Los Capitanes needs YOU.

Everyone's favourite mass media 'conglomerate' BMA recently featured a tiny article on Los Capitanes with regards to our recent talks with Statue Records and I figured it is my civic duty to let youse all know what the real deal is. Now I'm assuming that most of you don't care but for the 2% who are curious I'll lay down da fakts: A few weeks ago we were contacted by Statue Records Group, a label based in Hollywood California after they'd heard our tunes on mp3.com. At the moment all we're really discussing is a distribution deal as despite the sweet allure of polluted air, heinous street crime and gangster rap we aren't quite ready to pack up and move to LA just yet. We've currently got a bunch of lawyers looking over their proposal but nothing has been decided as of yet, rest assured to those interested we'll keep you updated on events as they unfold.

Word on the street (yo) is that Aussie Ska Icons The Porkers are crackin it on down to Canberra for a wee bit o fun in the sun/rain/overcast with your friendly neighbourhood ska band Los Capitanes* as well as notorious ska dealers Better than a Poke in the Eye. So far the date that we've been given is the 29th of January although that could change so keep your bananas peeled for more info.

*Disclaimer: Los Capitanes does NOT guarantee to be the friendliest ska band in your neighbourhood

A big skavoovie must be extended to Better Than a Poke in the Eye who scored second place in the Pot Belly Battle of the Bands. For those of you who didn't catch the show, the skabarians sound was totally 'off da hook', stirring the crowd into a manic skanking frenzy sardine stylee. Punk Rockers/male models Never in Doubt also kicked much ass playing 4 sexcellent crowd pleasers including punk epic 3 Months, a los cap favourite. (You can download it at mp3.com.au) Congrats to Static Empire and all the people who made the grand-final, shout out to Mark and the Potbelly for proving that Canberrans still care about live music. Power to the peaceful.
